I was going to order a few things tonight but then I saw that the bikini TOPS are final sale. I decided to get just the beachy floral bangbuster headband because I was so annoyed. I'll make the call on the Porcelaine Wee Stripe Every Yogi Tank/Tee when I see it in the store. I was tempted to order the Flash Race Tech top but after a woman sent me photos of her Tame Me Tank melting all over her (shorts, sneakers, Nathan belt, sneakers) when she ran the Boston Marathon (that post is in the works) I am boycotting all Flash.

What did you all order tonight?

Some new banners were uploaded that give hints of things to come:

Mystery zipper tank. Looks like the old Zip UR Whisper in front and Cool Racerback in back.

There weren't too many new things at the store today for me to check out - I was there before all the swimwear arrived. I tried on the Heathered Menthol Cool Racerback which was tempting. It was super soft but every top I buy in this shade green I end up selling. I just never reach for greens. I also tried on the Heathered Deep Navy Flashback Pullover since it had been a couple of years since I last tried it on. I really liked it this time around and ended up buying it. I seem to remember previous versions feeling much more stiff and bulky but the Deep Navy one is made of the same soft, thin material as the Meditate Pullover. It's very roomy and cozy and perfect for Southern California. I must have been in the mood for comfort clothes today - it was kind of a dreary overcast day. I put it on as soon as I got home and haven't taken it off since. Can anyone comment who owns an older Flashback? Are the newer ones thinner and softer? Or maybe just the new Deep Navy one is. I've heard from a couple of people that that's the one they bought because it's so soft.

Ms. KD was kind enough let her photo be used for the blog as an illustration of how much/little the new swim suits covers. She is a size 6 in lulu (sometimes a 4 in tops), an A/B cup. Both the top and bottom are size 6.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
